Meet Fred... For those of you who aren't aware... I used to own a little black Ford Focus like the one pictured here... but then I was T-boned... and so I had to get a new car... So I bought Goldie pictured below... at least that is what my friend Dallin decided to name her and it has just kind of stuck. Oh and just a side note... i bought her from a really good friend and got an amazing deal...we may have ended up dating for a while... about that :)
Anyhow since I bought my little Ford, (aka Fix Or Repair Daily) I have been pretty impressed except the fact that my passenger side, rear door didn't lock and the controls for the windows on the drivers side were falling through almost to where they were inside the door. (I hope that makes since..I am not a very good person to be explaining things... especially when it comes to a car!) Anyhow so yesterday my father and I went out to see if we could fix these few little issues. We started with the controls since that was an easy fix. Just take off the covering to the door and push it back through. Then we started on the back door, got it all taken apart and decided that we needed a new part so I called a few junk yards around and found the part. I could go into a really long story about how the man at the shop laughed at me when I told him that I could take it out myself and how I did end up doing it myself. I could also start talking about how it took me an hour and a half or how I burnt the back of my neck. We could also discuss how the man was impressed that I did it and gave it to me for $15 instead of the $20 he quoted me for. So long story short I got the part all by myself broke it while I was taking it out of the other car, came home helped my dad fix the little part that I broke and then put it in my car and guess what! Now my car works and is perfect again!!! all for $15.00 and about 3hours of work. I think however next time I need to replace something I'll get it from the Junk yard but I'll pay the extra $5.00 for them to take it out and just give it to me!

Hello Jessica! How is life? We've been in Hawaii since February and will be leaving in about a month. It's been such a fun experience. Where are you these days? It's so fun to get in touch with people I haven't seen forever through blogs. By the way, you look so cute. I love the short hair! -Kelli (Crummett) Albaugh
